These three buildings are located on the same side of 35th Avenue between 74h Street and 76th Street. They were selected both for their individual qualities as well as for overall effect that they create as on travels along 35th Avenue.

Buckingham Hall
The Buckingham, built in 1935 by the architects Seelig and Finkelstein is a Mediterranean style, six story brick apartment building and has a central recessed garden entrance, flanked on top by two rectangular lookout towers with terracotta tile roofs.

Beech Court
The Beech Court building is actually a pair of new-gothic six-story buildings arranged as one, with tow deep garden courtyards in front.  Architects' Ricca and Ungaleider designed it in 1930.

The Colton Buildings
The third building, the Colton, is also six-stories, but designed in a Georgian style.  All three buildings have private interior landscaped gardens.
Their find scale, excellent use of materials and details, respect for the street, give this particular stretch of 35th Ave. and aura of civility not unlike that of Park Avenue in Manhattan.
